Lots of healing energy coming your way sorcha. The bone in my arm grew around my right ulner nerve, it wasn't my spine the doctors had to operate on but the 6-8 weeks not playing is really important...I didn't listen and I cause the permanent damage in my arm and can only play for short periods of time, I would hate for that to happen to you. Get that second opinion too. I am sure everything will work out good.

Let us know how you get on.

Blessings and healing energy from this side of the pond.
